Practice Areas

Civil Litigation, Business Law, Divorce, Trademark, Estate Planning

Practicing law for 39 years, I have a very strong background in civil litigation and research involving business disputes, including divorce. Having spent most of my legal career at large corporate law firms, I offer big firm expertise at small firm rates to businesses, individuals and families throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Contact me to arrange a free consultation.

An experienced lawyer, I have handled cases involving a variety of legal issues from construction contracts to trademark infringement to divorce. For my corporate and individual clients, my areas of practice center on:

Trademark and copyright: I have concentrated experience as a trademark attorney, both in obtaining trademark registration from the United States Patent & Trademark Office, trademark infringement litigation, and copyright applications to the U.S. Copyright Office.

Civil litigation: Drawing on three decades of experience as a litigation attorney for Mobil Oil, DLA Piper and Mirick, O'Connell, DeMallie & Lougee I am able to provide clients with high-quality but cost-effective representation in a wide range of litigation matters, including trademark infringement, real estate disputes, unfair and deceptive trade practices (Chapter 93A), and breach of contract cases. I also specialize in representing clients who need an attorney for an uncontested divorce, or modification of alimony and/or child support.

Business law: I provide businesses with a wide range of corporate legal services. I advise clients who need legal representation for incorporating their business, obtaining a trademark from the United States Patent & Trademark Office, setting up a nonprofit organization and obtaining 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service, contract drafting and negotiations, drafting and reviewing leases and asset purchase and sale agreements and handling trademark matters.

Estate planning: As an estate-planning attorney, I help married couples and individuals plan for orderly distribution of their estates through a last will and testament and the use of a revocable trust. Clients rely on me to provide personalized services in an effort to customize an estate plan. I listen to my clients' needs, concerns and objectives as we prepare wills, trusts and utilize other basic estate planning tools.
